The quarterback rankings will look a bit different this coming season after a very active NFL offseason.

Kyler Murray has moved from Arizona to Minnesota, Malik Willis is the new starter in Miami and Tua Tagovailoa signed with Atlanta to compete with incumbent Michael Penix Jr. for the top spot on the Falcons depth chart. We’ve also seen Fernando Mendoza get picked first overall in the NFL draft by the Raiders. That’s just a few of the major moves that will have a fantasy football impact on both their new and former teams.

As such, here are my updated 2026 fantasy quarterback rankings. I’ll be updating these often throughout the offseason, so keep checking back!
